Like all bills ever created by Democrats, the Inflation Reduction Act is exactly the opposite of what it is named. Over 80,000 new IRS agents to harass small businesses and the middle class – or at least the middle class with the wrong politics – a massive “green” slush fund and buyoff/bribe machine, $400 billion in new “social” spending, $700 billion in tax hikes, higher gas prices and, in turn, higher food prices.. it just goes on and on.
That’s what they call the Inflation REDUCTION Act, and what CNN and MSNBC are waving pom-poms and hugging each other about.
During a recession and with inflation at a 41-year high, Democrats just passed a bill to spend over $700 billion, increase taxes and decrease energy production.

The press and the Democrats colluded to lie about it, as Ted Cruz pointed out already today. Here is smug Kamala casting the vote and the sustained cheers of the Democrats putting a coat of varnish on the coffin they’ve almost finished for the American dream.
It is truly revolting. They are sick.
All Fifty Democrat Senators have voted for a massive tax hike during a recession, more subsidies during a period of runaway inflation, and siccing 87,000 new IRS agents on independent businesses at a cost of $80 billion.

The Democrats’ reckless tax and spending plan includes nearly $370 billion to fund the Green New Deal, $64 billion for Obamacare, and hundreds of billions in new taxes on American businesses and manufacturers.

The spending spree also includes $80 billion to double the number of IRS agents — practically giving every American a personalized tax auditor. We should be cutting taxes, not increasing them.

It is a shame that Senate Democrats have forced through a socialist agenda that will make life more difficult and expensive for Tennesseans.

It was passed through reconciliation and will now go back to the House for a final vote, where it is pretty much guaranteed to pass.
We may update this post with more information. I’m too angry to say more at the moment.
